Anyone who has suffered from back pain knows the effect it
can have on your life. It can disrupt your sleep, work, and healthy activities,
hampering your quality of life. Yet there are solutions available for relieving
your back pain, even without surgery or invasive treatments. Spinal
decompression services are an option for many back pain sufferers, relieving
the pain and giving you back control of your life.

What is Spinal
Decompression?

For decades, spinal decompression has been used to relieve
pressure on the vertebrae, muscles and nerves that are often the cause of back
pain. Sitting or standing in certain positions can cause the vertebrae to
compress over time. This change in the spine structure can misalign the
surrounding muscles, pinch nerves and cause pain in the back, shoulders, neck
and through the lower extremities. Spinal decompression relieves this pressure
through traction devices, allowing muscles to realign and nerves to be freed
from confinement, stopping the cause of the pain.

Spinal decompression for severe back pain is usually
performed in a clinical setting using one of many traction devices. There are
also home-care exercises that can help manage spinal decompression, stretching
the spine and muscles in the back. According to the American Spinal
Decompression Association, over 90% of chronic back pain sufferers that undergo
clinical spinal decompression have some level of relief from their symptoms.

Who Can Benefit from
Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Back pain that is caused from pressure on the spine is
common and includes several different conditions. Those with the following issues
may be candidates for spinal decompression therapy:

Herniated or bulging discs

Muscle spasms

Sciatica

Discogenic pain

Hypomobility

Spinal decompression can improve these and other medical
conditions that cause pain by reducing inflammation, relieving pressure on
nerves that are pinched between vertebrae, and reducing disc herniation. This
therapy can help improve flexibility and mobility, while reducing the pain. The
best part is that these sessions are non-invasive and do not require surgery or
medications to relieve the pain.
